Without Markdown formatting, we can only guess which parts of the code are on separate lines, and which lines are part of the definition. But it looks like perhaps the function calls itself on the last line.

If that's true, it would create a "recursion loop" which would possibly make the workspace seem "broken". Try removing that line.

If that's not it, add formatting to the code so we can get a better look.
